“The Shepherd King” Revival Series Part 5 – Vengeance & Mercy
Have you ever had an opportunity to get even with someone that hurt you? Maybe God's giving you that opportunity to get even with your enemies so you don't take that opportunity, and you can demonstrate what it means to be a Christian and you overcome evil with good. "The Shepherd King" is a 12-part revival series with Pastor @Doug Batchelor first aired in Spring of 2017. Few Old Testament characters have had as much impact on the modern Christian faith as David, the beloved shepherd-king of Israel. And today, his story—the challenges, the adventures, and the highs and lows—still has amazing power to inform and transform our walk with God. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzwKMU2TLvE

Juan R. Prestol-Puesán: Delightful Life Lessons from a Devoted Servant of God
Juan Prestol-Puesán was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to parents who were both French. Despite not being raised by Adventist parents, he had a grandmother who was a devout Adventist. He remembers knowing God from the beginning because of her. He had attended church and Pathfinders since his childhood, and when he started school in eighth grade, he was exposed to Bible classes, where he discovered many beauties about God. Since he was young, he knew God was working in his life. Since 2007, he has served as the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's undertreasurer and treasurer. He has worked in the Adventist Church's treasury for nearly 50 years. He will be retiring in August 2021. He hopes that the church fulfills its mission and will serve as a foundation for someone else after all of his years of service. Though he will miss working with the General Conference, he is confident that the church is in good hands and that God has been preparing whoever will succeed him for quite some time.
